Technology Focus｜QGM Splitter Machine — The “Artisan” of Secondary Brick Processing
In modern urban construction and landscape engineering, concrete products are no longer limited to strength and durability. Today’s projects increasingly demand diverse, customized, and aesthetically appealing materials. How can ordinary concrete blocks be transformed into high-end paving or facing products with the natural texture of stone? QGM’s Splitter Machine provides the answer, becoming an essential tool for secondary brick processing.
From Brick to “Stone” — Artistic Transformation
The splitter machine is designed for the secondary processing of concrete blocks. By applying high hydraulic pressure through specially engineered blades, it splits bricks into pieces with natural fracture lines and stone-like textures. The resulting split-faced surfaces look rugged and authentic, closely resembling natural stone. Such products are widely used in landscape paving, plazas, exterior walls, and municipal projects.
Compared with traditional polishing or sandblasting techniques, split bricks stand out with stronger visual depth and decorative appeal, making them a preferred choice for designers seeking premium landscape effects.
Key Technical Advantages
Precision Splitting: Hydraulic-driven system with optimized blade design ensures clean splitting lines and naturally textured surfaces.
Versatile Processing: Capable of handling multiple block sizes and supporting single or multi-block splitting simultaneously.
High Efficiency & Stability: PLC-controlled automation ensures fast, stable, and consistent processing capacity.
Durability: Core components use high-strength alloy steel, extending blade life and reducing maintenance costs.
Broad Applications
Landscape Bricks: Split bricks with stone-like effects are ideal for parks, plazas, and pedestrian walkways, combining natural beauty with modern design.
Wall Facing Bricks: When applied to building facades, split bricks enhance aesthetics, depth, and perceived quality.
Creative Paving: Different sizes and colors of split bricks can be combined freely, enabling unique and customized paving solutions.
Sustainability Through Value-Added Processing
The splitter machine works seamlessly with QGM’s non-fired block machines. Bricks produced from construction waste, tailings, fly ash, or other recycled materials can be split into high-value decorative products. This not only extends the value chain of block production but also helps customers achieve both waste utilization and product value enhancement.
Customer Feedback & Market Outlook
In markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and various regions in China, QGM splitter machines have received strong praise for their efficiency, low energy consumption, and outstanding processing quality. With the growing demand for high-end paving and decorative products in urban renewal and landscape engineering, the split-brick market is rapidly expanding and presents significant growth opportunities for building material enterprises.
Conclusion
QGM’s splitter machine is more than just equipment — it is a craftsmanship solution that gives ordinary concrete bricks the appearance and texture of natural stone. By upgrading the value of green building materials and broadening their applications, it helps enterprises tap into new markets and achieve sustainable development. Looking forward, QGM will continue to innovate in intelligent block-making and secondary processing technologies, supporting the industry’s transition toward premium, differentiated, and eco-friendly development.
